Uiwang Urban Development Corporation Installs Droplet Barriers in Vehicles

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Suh Dong-young] Uiwang Urban Development Corporation announced on the 9th that it has installed droplet barriers inside vehicles for the safety of customers using special transportation services for the mobility disadvantaged amid the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

Most users of special transportation services for the mobility disadvantaged are people with disabilities and the elderly who have difficulty moving, and since they primarily use the service for medical treatment, they inevitably come into contact with unspecified numbers of people, making them particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 infection.

In response, Uiwang Urban Development Corporation has installed droplet barriers inside vehicles to prevent infection in confined spaces.

Additionally, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, hand sanitizer and vehicle disinfectant are provided inside special transportation vehicles. The corporation also makes efforts to disinfect vehicles daily after operations end.

Oh Bok-hwan, president of Uiwang Urban Development Corporation, said, "We will make every effort to provide the best service so that customers using special transportation services for the mobility disadvantaged can move safely and conveniently even in the COVID-19 situation."
